Beannachtaí Dé, everyone, (and we need God's blessings, now and ever!)
Bad news, the past few days. As John Zmirak so appropriately says,
America is a kidnap victim. We are Patty Hearst. We are being beaten,
robbed, and raped. And we're being robbed of our sovereignty, our right to rule ourselves.
I hate being right, but the election was
stolen, brazenly. Of course, a great many commentators and people
blogging have warned that it would be stolen. Biden admitted as much in
his smug confidence in recent days. Before the 2020 election, he also
smugly boasted they'd win easily. He knew.
So,
we were right. We should have expected it because in Pennsylvania and
Arizona, nothing was done to correct the voting irregularities of 2020.
Because, according to the Powers-That-Be, there was nothing wrong with
that election.
For details of the steal, myriads of proofs exist, and Emerald Robinson has a compendium of events here. Check
out Robinson's article for its many charts and grafts showing sudden
Democrat ballot dumps in various places. It is preposterous. Brazen.
In-your-face, but they did it anyway.
- RINOs
- And
they could not have done it without the help of the RINOs, the
right-wing of the UniParty, who did the best they could to sink MAGA
Republican candidates and are now howling for Trump's blood.
- The
RINOs want DeSantis for president, of course, because they control him
in terms of their big-money donations. Trump, they cannot control.
DeSantis (or anyone else), however, will not get elected nationally
without the help of the MAGA Republicans.
- As the RINOs loathe the MAGA, and vice-versa, we cannot expect anything but disaster going forward.
And anyway, in general, you know the voting has been rigged when just about every
poll, Leftist, Middle, or Right, show tremendous public dissatisfaction
with government yet these unhappy legions of voters unaccountably vote the people responsible for
their misery back into power. You also know something is up when in
states like Florida and Ohio, states possessing sensible, same-day
voting systems, Republicans win big, very big, actually, in both those states; yet Democrat states having
"election seasons" rather than "election days" take days to count
and candidates whom all polling shows enjoy large leads (again, general
Left-leaning pollsters to pollsters with platinum track records, like
Trafalgar) see their leads evaporate. Even professional gamblers predicted a "Red Wave". So, what happened?
Bottom Line: Ballots, not Votes
This
is no longer about voting. It is no longer about candidates being
likable, intelligent, or arguing for smart policy proposals. Biden
doesn't even know who he is half the time, and now this literal idiot
elected senator in Pennsylvania is quasi brain-dead (his wife will replace
him). That state elected a Democrat state legislator who died back in October. What a hell-hole. (Sam Faddis describes what happened in Pennsylvania here, and it involves RINOs.)
No.
It isn't about all that stuff, which is so passé. It is about ballots.
Ballots, ballots, who has the ballots? Sundance at the Conservative
Treehouse has an excellent column on this here. This is a highly important article for one to read if one wishes to grasp what's going on here.
My long-held thesis
My long-held thesis is that an individual or group (like a political
party) that intentionally accepts or "believes" or embraces such obvious
contradictions like abortion or Covid or climate change, go crazy. They become
demented. They are cursed, as the Belbury bigshots were cursed in C.S. Lewis' novel, That Hideous Strength. They were turned into vicious subhumans by the Curse of Babel.
This
is like with abortion, and Covid, and Climate Change. Advocates for
these abominations do not want you to look at facts, either of biology,
embryology, the unscience that is virology (and it is a joke), and climatology. They lie to you, right into your face. Abortion is the best example. "That's just a clump of cells, not a baby." Utter Stercus tauri. Where is Sterculius when you need him? (BTW, Every pro-life republican governor who signed an abortion ban won re-election.
My
thesis is that in trying to act as though you believe something so
obviously not true, your moral and intellectual underpinnings begin to
fray. Sooner or later you become a moral homunculus. Over the years,
I've known individuals who seemed to lose their identity because they
became abortion supporters. One guy wanted to advance in the Democrat
Party and over time went from a regular guy to a nasty piece of work.
"What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?"
(St. Mark 8:3)
Sovereignty, who has the Sovereignty?
Another
elemental, fundamental truth that needs to be intellectually
apprehended is that the Authoritarians, whether Communists or Nazis or
"Watermelon" Fascists, is that they do not care for your sovereignty. If
you don't get this, you will NOT know what's going on.
Sovereignty
is the ideal about where the right to govern lies. In Ancient Egypt, it
lay with Pharaoh, who was a god. In China, for millennia, it lay with
"Heaven", which bestowed it on a ruler who was ruthless enough to seize
it and keep it. The same was true in Islam, from its inception. In
Ancient Greece, it lay solely with the citizens of a city-state. Most of
the people who made up Classical Athens' population were slaves; only
the citizens had the power to vote and partake of rule. In the Roman
Republic, it lay both with the Senate and the popular house, the plebs,
who over time had gained rights, so the Roman Republic resembled the
American one (because the Americans modeled theirs after Rome).
Then
Christianity came along. In Ancient Judaism, sovereignty lay solely
with God, yet they wanted a king, so God gave them one, but told them
they wouldn't like this transfer of sovereignty from God to the state.
When Rome converted to Christianity, the already sovereign Roman state
became sovereign directly because God made it so. The "divine" pagan
emperor became a divinely appointed ruler. But in the West, with no
empire surviving, sovereignty still rested with God, and it was
administered by the Church. The Church made and unmade kings. The Church
also recognized guilds of tradesmen and manufacturers. These "lower
classes" always had more political clout in the West than in the East.
Parliaments had their nobles, yes, but also their "Commons", not
individuals but communities.
Then
post the Reformation, wherein kings decided what religion would be
allowed, sovereignty shifted more to the kings, and finally the Divine
Right of Kings became the rule. It was first promoted by the Protestant James I
of England, but more fully embodied in the Catholic Louis XIV.
Yet the Bourbons made such a mess of Europe that this theory was
overthrown and replaced with two very different, and eternally contending views.
- One, sovereignty
was seen to lie with the people, in general. Englishman John Locke did
the most to promote this, and the U.S.A. is in essence his child, his
creation.
- The other, sovereignty lay with those who had the guts and
willpower to seize it, whether the French Revolutionary Directory, or
Napoleon, or whoever.
N.B.
Over time, the Left came to control this idea of sovereignty.
Basically, their ideology became sovereign. We live to bring their utopias to birth. We live to labor for the
state in order to fulfill the ideology. We live to keep those who rule
the state in luxury. We have no rights except what the state decrees. But of course, no one of the ruling class really believes the ideology (workers' paradise or National Socialist breeding farm or stone-age "green" utopia).
2020 & 2022
Today,
in the U.S., the issue really is who has the sovereignty. If it is the
people, then votes count. The people employ the state and can dismiss
it. But we are not seeing that, are we? Not at all, not in the
slightest. These elections of 2022 and 2020 show that the people
cannot dismiss the state. The state, the Deep State, impersonates God. It
manufactures fraudulent ballots, and then counts them. Voting is
meaningless. Those who have seized power are the ones who count.
Please, everyone, understand this. It is our reality.
Can we defeat it? Maybe. I'll be highly interested to see if Kari Lake wins Arizona. She'll be a major weapon against our enemies. But as of this writing, that election is in Limbo.
